Blogsignment News article changed to bi-monthly update

Your topical blogs are now being re-purposed as a digital work space, similar in how grp blogs are being used. You can use it to post notes to yourself, short write-ups, etc., however it may help you advance the work.

The "news posting" blogsignment segment is getting changed to "bi-monthly update", 1x every 2wks. I'll be expecting about 4+ updates for the rest of the semester.
Update posting format (title as bi-monthly update):
>Discuss current state of the topic, things you've done, progresses made since last update, and things planned. Feel free to discuss major ideas, thoughts, reflections etc.
>A substantive 1-2 paragraph for each update.
